The field of Medical Biophysics has progressed over the past 30 years. It promises to offer a beneficial approach to preventing and healing some health problems. This field deals with forces in our world which we cannot see, but which alter the way our bodies function. The forces include electromagnetic fields, radio waves, microwaves, X-rays, […]

Dopamine (DA) neurotransmitter is reduced in a part of the brain (nucleus accumbens) in people with addictive behavior. This also occurs in animal models of drug-dependency to alcohol, opiates and cannabinoids. In human brain imaging studies of addicts to cocaine, heroin and alcohol, there is reduced production of DA in the brain. There is reduced […]

The researchers evaluated a woman physician who had self-diagnosed electromagnetic hypersensitivity. The goal of the study was to see if there was some way to verify that electromagnetic fields (EMF) can alter reactions in the human body.

This paper is a review of the literature regarding the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on non-healing of bone fractures. The current information supports the use of EMFs to reduce disability resulting from non-union of fractures, but the literature on this subject is limited. This review included 51 articles on the use of EMFs on […]

Myelin is a fatty electrical insulation in the brain and peripheral nerves which is produced rapidly in the first year of life. However, diminishes during life into old age. The nervous system depends on myelin for normal function. Low-intensity radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) are increasingly encountered in our modern electronic lifestyles. There is research evidence […]

Humans are increasingly exposed to electromagnetic fields (EMF) due to electronic devices. These fields are generally referred to as ‘electrosmog’. Common symptoms are fatigue, headache, trouble concentrating, sleep disorders, and dizziness. EMFs are caused by cordless phones, cellular phones, laptops, notebook computers, smart meters, and power lines. Exposure to these fields is rising at the […]

An article by Dr. M.L. Pall was written to explain the mechanism whereby electromagnetic low-frequency microwaves alter the human nervous system and cause neuropsychiatric symptoms. Microwave syndrome is used to describe a variety of symptoms seen in people who work around microwave frequency EMFs, including fatigue, headache, insomnia, impaired sensation, irritability, lack of concentration and […]

Green tea (Camellia sinensis), which contains chemicals called catechins, have many health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity. The dominant catechin is EGCG (epipallocatechin-3-gallate). One cup contains 78 mg. of EGCG, but higher doses are available in capsules. The movement of chemicals such as calcium and sodium across cell walls of heart cells may […]

Electrification in the United States began in 1880. At that time, death rates had been falling rapidly because of infectious disease control. A study in 2001, reported that a peak incidence of childhood leukemia deaths from the 1930’s correlated with the percentage of residential electrification at that time. A 2008 of 200,000 California school teachers […]

Dopamine (DA), a neurotransmitter*, is involved with brain activity in drug abuse and other addictions. The activity of DA neurons in the brain is reduced in alcohol, opiate and cannabinoid-dependent rats. DA activity is depressed in an area of the brain called the nucleus accumbens in drug-dependent rodents. These deficiencies contribute to the ‘dopamine-impoverished brain’ […]
